He also did a full video series. "Chemical History of a Candle" was originally a series of lectures given by Faraday; he recreated the lectures and the demonstrations. Definitely worth a watch, especially if you don't have a conceptual understanding of fire
- yesenadam 6y agoAwesome, thank you! "a series of six lectures on the chemistry and physics of flames given by Michael Faraday at the Royal Institution in 1848, as part of the series of Christmas lectures for young people founded by Faraday in 1825 and still given there every year." First video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W0MHZ4jb4A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W0MHZ4jb4A And indeed the Royal Institution seems to be still pumping out popular lectures, now available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheRoyalInstitution/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/TheRoyalInstitution/videos
- gnicholas 6y agoThis is interesting, but why does he speak archaically? I understand it fine, but I'll have to stop the video every 5 seconds to translate for my kid. Is it part of his style in general?
- jedimastert 6y agoHe's reciting directly from Michael Faraday's manuscript
- gnicholas 6y agoAh gotcha, thanks!
